Ugh, guys, I really am the worst with promises of blog posts and the like, whoops. Life always seems to interfere with blog maintenance. You know, school, job searches, copious amounts of British television shows...I've been drawn into the world of "Downton Abbey," "Sherlock," and "Doctor Who," with no sign of surfacing from said world, so, when I get back to serious blogging once the semester is over (in just a month, thankfully!) I will
likely be doing some BRIT-ISH inspired posts and declaring my love for various British actors. I have a long running joke/annoyance/legit truth that I am BRIT-ISH (yes, said in that manner) that has been entertaining and annoying everyone who interacts with me. It's clearly a good time. So, I am alive, well, a bit overly-caffinated and returning with a simply spring-y look that I wore recently.
I've always been a fan of the two-tone lip look and since it was lovely and spring-y out, I took advantage by doing a pink/orange combo.
I kept my cheeks pink to compliment the less noticeable pink (because my upper lip is thinner) and the eye makeup to a basic bronze overcast with a basic liquid liner cat eye. The scar below my brow is reeeeally noticeable in this picture. As a child I was playing tag (indoors) with my father and ran into a wall (typical). I love scars though (this, of course, stemming from my heart surgery scar that goes from in between my collar bone and down to a couple inches above my belly button). Scars always tell a story! And there goes my scar rant....haha

Thoughts on the two-tone lip? I, as I said, really like it, the only trouble I had was with keeping the colors separate. In about three seconds I already mashed the colors together and had to fix it, haha. So goes my general clumsiness. Anyway, it's lovely to be back and blogging. Not making any promises on how frequent my returns will be happening (because I have broken o' so many promises), but, until next time!
